Replacement fan I'm trying tov locate a replacement upper fan for this portable ubit. I called my local rep who directed me to the Fedders main location. I called and the recording says to check online, I can get an exploded parts list and can order from there. I do not see any thing like that. I sent 2 different email messages and have gotten an acknowledgement email but no more than that. HOW hard could it be to get a replacement part? Anybody have any ideas on how to get a replacement motor for this unit? Thanks.

Hi,The switch will be the silver/gray box just above the burner in the supply plenum...There really is nothing you can do to fix that if it is bad... the switch runs off of a bimetal spring and that has just plum worn out...

The main thing you need to check is the insertion depth of the bimetal spring...then you can buy a replacement at any HVAC supply house...

Chances are that what you have is a Honeywell product and you can download anything you need from the honeywell site...

If it was running fine before and you moved it and it's making noise, it sounds like something fell against the fan blades. The reason it sounds worse when you turn it up is that the fan is running fast. Grab a flashlight and check to see what might have fallen.

Maytag window units are made by Fedders. Try going to the fedders website and get their contact info and call them. They should be able to give you a replacement number or tell you where you can get one. Plus, if you have a company around you that sells hvac motors, like United Refridgeration they may have a motor for your unit. But you have to remove yours and take it to them for a possible match.

Here is the link to the user manual;
http://www.fedders.com/IandOResidential/Appliances/FedSglDualPort.pdf
check page 6 first about timer controls and check there is nothing set there that may be stopping the fan.
then check the fan hasnt been blocked or damaged, particularly by a damaged filter.
Then the most likely problem would be a fault in the fan motor itself - sometimes these will have a thermal cutout switch which can be reset, or an electrical fuse. check for these if you fancy trying a repair yourself. If there is no cutout or fuse then a replacement motor would be probably worth it, although they can often be fixed, it is labour intensive and skilled so could be expensive.
in the user manual are all the contact details for fedders dealers and repair facilities, also details of how to get spares (page 9).
Hope this helps :)
